The Heraldis 10 metres high and 20 metres long and is the most expensive piece of public art ever erected in Glasgow.
Now all that Toby Paterson's £350,000 addition to the BBC's headquarters at Pacific Quay needs is something a little irreverent: a "typical Glasgow nickname".
With a superstructure made from steel cast in Grangemouth, and its multi-coloured shapes also made, from glass fibre reinforced plastic plywood, in Scotland, the work, Paterson said, was intended to hint at the manufacturing history of the Pacific Quay site.
The 25 coloured shapes are based on portions of the Ordnance Survey map of Scotland. Paterson said: "I spent a while looking at maps, and the shapes are taken from them. It represents the topography of Scotland a wide range of different areas. I am not saying which shape is where - there is town and country, Highlands and islands."
